This week the boys are joined by Simon Hill founder of Plant Proof and host of the Plant Proof podcast.Simon shares his incredible story harnessing the power of science to change his nutrition into a fully plant based one.
Simon helps to spread his positive message of a plant based diet to help not create healthier humans but also a healthier planet. No matter what diet you choose Simon has answers to many questions regarding the modern food system.

This is my blogOver 70 references3 months of research and work with the department of Sustainability at Sydney Uni. Working with non vegans. The article will give what I believe is the best summary out there (a few journals have asked me to reformat this and publish it - may do when I get time later this year)

That's what I send to people who are interesting in transitioning to a more plant based diet so they know where to get their calories from.
Diversity is key of course.

This article also discusses bioavailability of nutrients
“We find that although the characteristic conventional retail-to-consumer food losses are ≈30% for plant and animal products, the opportunity food losses of beef, pork, dairy, poultry, and eggs are 96%, 90%, 75%, 50%, and 40%, respectively. This arises because plant-based replacement diets can produce 20-fold and twofold more nutritionally similar food per cropland than beef and eggs, the most and least resource-intensive animal categories, respectively.”
